How can stories help us to face the climate crisis and imagine what comes next? Climate fiction, or cli-fi, blends real-world science with imagined futures, inviting us to explore how climate change could transform our lives, our communities and our planet. In this discussion event, we’ll look at how novels and short stories about climate change can challenge disinformation, make complex science feel human and immediate, and open up space for hope, creativity and action.

Join speakers and fellow audience members to reflect on the climate stories that stay with us, and consider how storytelling might help us to navigate difficult truths while still imagining better futures.

For adults and young people aged 16+ years.

This event is organised by Cambridge Zero and Cambridgeshire Libraries.
